Yes there was no centralised state but there were at a clan and community level the reintroduction of clan based common laws and depending upon which clan you belonged to your access to property rights and justice varied. You claim to have grown up there but provide no evidence- it could be a claim made out of convenience given the lack of historical examples of any successful economy ever existing in the absence of government and the fondness of some libertarians to reference this era in Somalia despite the appalling conditions most Somalia live under. Why did you leave and where did you move to? You refuse to answer this too. I suggest you are a fabrication and cannot and will not substantiate your claims. You give no examples of any Libertarians who moved to Somalia to enjoy the experiment in non centralised government which was unfolding- because Libertarians are big on talk but not so much on action. They like most people depend upon the stability and security that governments deliver and do not in reality want to be thrown into a clan based Sharia Law state of anarchy. The fact is the predominance of Sharia law and absence of other centralised authority made Somalia an attractive place for Muslim extremists, pirates and terrorists and such a state was not tolerated by other nations who eventually put in place the current nominal centralised government. Nobody or area lives in sufficient isolation to neighbouring jurisdictions to harbour pirates and terrorists and believe that is acceptable.
